[Server Backup Script]

Hi everyone.  First Post here but have watched alot of episodes.

I have recently discovered scripting but this one bakes my noodle.

I have a big client for my computer business that I have just built a server for, well the customer has just informed me that they would now

like to do automated back-ups to an external HDD.

So the problem that I face is I have only ever played with this script that I found here :

@echo off

:: variables

set drive=D:Backup

set backupcmd=xcopy /s /c /d /e /h /i /r /k /y

echo ### Backing up Documents. . .

%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%" "%drive%Arrow"

echo ### Backing up Favorites. . .

%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%Favorites" "%drive%Favorites"

echo ### Backing up email and contacts (MS Outlook). . .

%backupcmd% "%USERPROFILE%Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftOutlook" "%drive%Outlook"

:: use below syntax to backup other directories. . .

:: %backupcmd% ". . . source directory. . . " "%drive%. . . destination dir. . . "

echo Backup Complete!

@pause

:: change to the destination drive first

D:

:: your parent backup directory

drive=D:Backup

echo ### Searching for files to clean up. . .

cd %drive%

dir /s/b/ad cookies > %drive%cleanup. txt

dir /s/b/ad temp > %drive%cleanup. txt

dir /s/b/ad history > %drive%cleanup. txt

echo ### Deleting cookies, temp files and history from backup dir

for /f "delims=" %%J in (%drive%cleanup. txt) do rd "%%J" /Q/S

echo Cleanup complete

@pause

which I have modified to work under vista instead of xp.

So the question that I have is can i use this script for there auto backup or does it need to be modified ?

They would like all of the information backed up for each user on the server including e-mail's ( basically friggin everything ).

Can you PLEASE help me i have tried to mod the script above but just cannot get it to work.

PLease Please Please HELP !!!!!!

P. S this script needs to be FULLY automated with no user interactrion what so ever as no-one has any acces to the administrator accountr other than me.

Thanks in advance.
